Boardwalk Construction : Julian B. Lane Park - Tampa, FL [VIDEO]

As part of the current renovation at Tampa's Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park, PermaTrak has come alongside the city's designers, engineers and developers to design and produce an elevated concrete walkway, which park-goers can use to enjoy the new sites and amenities. Using aPermaTrak precast concrete base component, the 583-foot boardwalk minimizes tree root disturbance while providing a maintenance-free solution for the City.

The park's $35 million renovation marks the most funding the City of Tampa has ever dedicated to a park.

The new Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park, expected to reopen to the public in early 2018, will offer the community new access for kayaks, boating and aquatic sports, as well as tennis, basketball and volleyball courts, a multi-use football field, areas for lacrosse and soccer and a performance pavilion with green spaces for concerts.

In previous years, the City had trouble with the live oak tree root systems heaving the paver walkway, creating an unsafe and unattractive walking surface. In some areas, the roots would pop up through the surface of the paver walkway, creating an uneven walkway and hindering the health of the trees.
